Carry On! And so in the strife of the battle of life It’s easy to fight when you’re winning; It’s easy to slave, and starve and be brave, When the dawn of success is beginning. But the man who can meet despair and defeat With a cheer, there’s the man of God’s choosing; The man who can fight to Heaven’s own height Is the man who can fight when he’s losing. But to labour with zest, and to give of your best, For the sweetness and joy of the giving; To help folks along with a hand and a song; Why, there’s the real sunshine of living. Carry on! Carry on! Fight the good fight. and true: Believe in your mission, greet life with a cheer; There’s big work to do, and that’s why you are here. Carry on! Carry on! Let the world be the better for you; And at last when you die, let this be your cry; “Carry on, my soul! Carry on!” —Quoted from “Carry On” by Robert W. Service, Sa MR. ZIMMERS MR.

FLAMBEAU To the Sweet Pea By GERTRUDE RATHSACK 719 He thought you out of Very Love, And you were very fair, Your blooms were white as wings of dove, The glow of love not there. But you caught the hues of the sun-set sky And dyed each tender fiower, Till the sight drew forth a glad little ery, Like a rain-bow after a shower. Then you gathered a bit of the Father’s Care, And, with a Heavenly mirth, You shaped the vines clinging ’round you there, To keep you down on earth. THE FLAMBEAU Class History History—echo of what? Class of Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen which is soon to end its High School life. Did this class work? Did it have pleasures? Lis- ten and i shall tell you. We, two hundred and nine Fresh- men, started with shaking bodies, large eyes, whirling minds on that first day of school. Of course we were green, that was written on our faces, but this gradually wore off. Then Sophomores, one hundred and fifty-three, we were ‘‘wise fools” so to say. This is the year enjoyed by all as we worked with an aim. Were we re- warded? Yes, exempt from finals—if one’s average was high enough. Member when we were Juniors, one hundred and ten, how we got the prize for the best showing in a field day parade? Those ’18ers with their rented suits—one costume cost them fourteen dollars—while we with some paper, tact and work, held the banner high. And—our patriotic spirit told us not to give an elaborate Prom for the Seniors, though we wanted to so badly. Instead the usual affair was just an everyday party. Now comes the wonderful senior year. High School had now be- come a second home to us. We enjoyed ourselves, for work was a habit. We were one large family, working together and accomplishing the neces- sary things. At the class meetings when voting for rings, invitations, motto and the like, we always agreed. Those assemblies will long be re- membered. Sh—sh—, but we must say that the girls did quarrel when the. time came to decide their graduation dresses. Meetings were held again and again, but at last all agreed-to follow the plan adopted last year —simple white dresses. This year had barely begun when one after another of our class- mates was ill with Spanish Influenza, until the school closed. This cer- tainly must go down in history as the schools had not closed to prevent the spreading of a contagious disease for a decade or more. The nine- teen days of “flu” vacation were sad ones. We were glad to return to school, when on that morning peace was declared throughout the world. Of course some faithful ones started for school, but they either didn’t get there or stayed only a few minutes. We did celebrate some-much. Then the next day we returned to school, but just to organize for a parade,—a —the class of 1919 with the caps and collars looked patriotic. Now for a history of some of the important Seniors: THE FLAMBEAU Ralph Houghton, “Pickles, Charles,” etc., has been our guide most of the time as president three years and vice-president in our Junior year. I guess he becomes popular because of his ‘““Hee-Haw” and stays so, because he works very hard to please us all. Arthur Reinken, our second leader, is that tall dark Senior who was so learned that he was above us all and left for Annapolis. In our class we have four girls and one boy who desired to make High School in three years, Marie Danielson, Gladys Krainik, Ethelyn Jaeger, Florence Rose, and Paul Nyhagen. Yes, we certainly are ‘a wonderful class, and when other histories are written in years to come, the members of the class of 1919 will not be forgotten. If we are not all Daniel Websters or President Wilsons, whose fault will it be? We, who have heard all sorts of orators speaking for our country and its needs. We, who have been called on again and again to make speeches for the same causes. Now as we eighty-eight Seniors on that night of June Sixth go for- ward slowly one by one to get the long looked for piece of paper, we shall not breathe a sigh of relief, but a sigh that happy high school days are over, By GLADYS BASH ’19 Our Guide By GERTRUDE RATHSACK ’19 In the hearts of the men who were battling for Right, That the cause of the Just might not fall, Was a voice, ever clear in the dead of the night. “Carry On!! Carry On!” was its call. The Commander-in-chief of the company large, In a voice so familiar to all, Ordered each to be steady and ready to charge, “Carry On!! Carry On!” was its call. No matter how cheerful his leader’s laugh, The soldier had made his choice, The call of his heart was his trusty staff, “Carry On!”—in a Spiritual Voice. And so, as the soldier was onward led By the Heavenly call of his Lord, Let us, too, in the paths of the righteous tread, And His counsel receive, as reward! THE FLAMBEAU Class Legacy Dear People-Left-in-High School :— Alas! it is my sad duty to announce the departure of the most talk- ative, and most studious class from High School. But do not feel grieved, dear people, for listen to their will. “To the Freshmen of this school, the Senior Class leaves the “vic- tory shoes” in which its members have paraded the streets for the sole purpose of arousing our patriotic citizens to buy Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps, and, last, but far from least to erect a new school. May you have better luck than we had, oh Freshies. Richard Torrison of this noted class, bequeaths his humorous poetic ability to write sonnets on the fair sex to whoever in the Sophomore Class needs it. Though it is grievous to think that he does not extend his offer to the Juniors, yet we realize that they do not need it. They have plenty. Catherine Schulte, whom I have always claimed as a generous, sym- pathetic girl, bequeaths her valedictorianship (after she’s through with it) to Edward Sporer. Mildred Wimmler bequeaths her sobriety and bashfulness to Hilde- garde Johnson, of that wonderful Junior Class. I must not forget to tell you that Gertrude Rathsack has decided to leave her darling “spats” to someone in High School who needs them. You must remember that it is a great sacrifice on her part, for she dearly loves her spats.” To whomever it concerns, Fulton Harrison bequeaths Bluff, his favorite companion, whom he advises everyone to use. The Senior Girls bequeath to the Junior Girls (I’m sorry to say it) the idea, “Something different for Graduation.” Lois Brehmer bequeaths some of her height to Vivian Joyce. I think she is very kind, for you will need to be seen when you become an elocutionist, Vivian. The Senior Boys have decided to bequeath their privileges of loud talking in the halls, to the Juniors. They also add that they gladly be- queath their nights in the tardy room to them. Richard Torrison at the last moment (for he couldn’t leave her be- fore) has decided to bequeath the position of big brother to the prettiest girl in the Freshman Class, to Robert Wells. I always knew that we had generous people in our class. Doesn’t this prove it? As a last gift, the entire class bequeaths to each class, our shining example in exhibiting a spirit of independence and loyalty to our coun- try and our school.” With these blessings, my opinion is that your classes will thrive. Yours in sincerity, ETHELYN M. JAEGER. For The Noble Class of 1919. at THE FLAMBEAU A Real Joy Ride By MARYBESS RICHARDS ’19 “Oh! Betty, the girls are coming tonight, wouldn’t it be fun to meet them? But then father wouldn’t let us take the car out again tonight, and they are coming on the late train, and we could never walk.” Grace and Betty Wayland were two jolly girls living in Greenwood, a little town on Lake Michigan. They were the happy owners of a cai, which they were allowed to use during the day, but not as much as they would have liked to during the evening. On this particular evening some school friends of Grace’s were com- ing home from college, and her one idea now was to have a good time. Betty, the younger sister was always ready for some mischief. This would be a fine chance for her to work out a little scheme, which she had planned. “T know, I know,” cried Betty. “You know what?” “Well, I know what we can do about it.” “Oh! tell me quickly for ’m so anxious to find some way to get to the train,” cried Grace. “Then listen to me; when papa goes downstairs to fix the furnace this evening, we shall get out doors, push the car out of the garage, and get away.” “That’s great, Betty; you always do think up the best things.” That evening when Mr. Wayland went downstairs to fix the furnace, Grace and Betty rushed outdoors, and opened the garage doors; but oh, such a noise, those doors seemed to make. “Now, if we both push from the front, we can do it much faster,” said Betty. “Push!” “Well, I am pushing.” “Oh! Betty, now we’re in for it, I told you to steer; it’s going into the ditch. Help!” “Grace, don’t make so much noise,” said Betty. Papa is upstairs now, and he will hear you, if you aren’t quiet.” Blanche, the oldest sister, came to the back door to help them. “Now, you girls climb in and I shall go into the house and grind the coffee; and when I am doing that, you start the engine and make your get-away.” That was the very thing to do, so both girls jumped into the car and fairly flew out of the yard. “Oh! Wasn’t that exciting? That’s more fun than being allowed to take it. I’m going to take it out that way after this,” Betty joyfully cried, THE FLAMBEAU little thinking how her mind was to be changed. After riding around for a while it was time to meet the train. “Only ten more minutes. How slowly those little minutes seem to go,” said Grace with a yawn. “Oh! I hear it coming,” cried Betty jumping from her seat. The huge engine came roaring into the station. With eager eyes the girls scanned the train. Many passengers came from the coaches, ' but the girls could not find the persons for whom they were looking. Finally the last passengers wandered away and the train was ready to draw out. “Well, I like that,” said Grace ready to cry; “To think that we have gone to all this trouble and then they don’t come. Last time we came to meet them, when it was simply pouring, and they didn’t come that time, either. I just won’t come to meet them again. “Never mind, dear; we’ve had lots of fun, come, let’s go home.” Tired and anxious for fear they had been missed they hurried home. When they went into the house, their father was waiting for them. “Did you lock the garage door, girls?” “Yes, we locked it, father,” both replied, wondering what was com- ing next.” “You don’t want to take the car out that way, girls, something might happen and we shouldn’t know where to find you.” Their disappointment helped them to agree that their father was right, and the more they thought about it the less fun they seemd to find in that evening’s ride. O, little graves in Flander’s Fields, Where countless heroes sleep. O, Poppies red, you wait and bow Above those graves so deep, Where buried lie the fallen brave, Within each narrow grave. O, little cross in Flander’s Fields, You mark each hero’s grave. O, Poppies red, you wait and bow Above those heroes brave, Who gave their lives, who did their best, For Freedom’s last great quest. By Sadie Grady, 719, THE FLAMBEAU A Warning By IRMA RUSBOLDT ’19 “Oh dear, I hate to get up this morning,” sighed Jane. ‘I’m all in.” “Well, seeing this is our first real day with things settled, we’ll have to start out early and see if we can get some milk,” said Peg, the chaperon. “We should have inquired last night.” “It’s only seven o’clock; can’t we stay in bed a little while longer?” asked Grace. “Let’s have a pillow fight,” suggested Helen, and before any more could be said, pillows were seen flying from one end of the room to the other. “T think we all had better get up now, so as not to be so late,” re- plied Peg. “Don’t spoil your first day by staying in bed all morning; you’ll feel sorry for it after a while.” It was a beautiful morning. Through the heavy foliage of the trees the bright sun shone on the dew and made the ground look as if it were covered with tiny stars. The river, which lay before us at the bottom o the hill, shone like a mirror, and the cows on the other side were taking their morning walk. No one could wish for a more beautiful picture, and soon we became more interested in the scenery than in our own break- fast. Peg now suggested that we hurry a little, and asked: “‘Who’s going with me to get the milk?” All were ready to go and responded at once. “T will.” “Yes, I will, too.” “No, I’m going.” “Oh Peg, can’t Jane and I go?’ Peg now, had more than enough to go to get the milk, but she chose five out of the nine to go with her. “We think that we are all ready to go,” laughed Nancy,” and we have no milk pails.” Oh here’s a quart jar and a pail,” responded Helen, “that will do for the first time I guess.” We all went down to our little landing and saw the girls off. “Help me get in, Jane,” said one of the girls to whom boating was a novelty. “Here, hold the pail until I get in. There, Oh! Now it’s all right.” “Oh dear,” sighed Peg, “the boat is so full of water, we'll get wet feet. Isn’t there an old can that we could use to bail it out?” We soon found two old cans, and before long the fortunate ones were ready to start. THE FLAMBEAU “T gave the boat a little push with my foot, and oh, how wonderful it looked, when they slowly drifted away. “Just see how they glide along,” sighed Helen regretfully. “I wish I were a fish and could always live in the water.” We who were left hurried up to the cottage to get breakfast. “Uoo Hoo!” came a voice from across the water. ‘We just landed. There are some good choke-cherries here, too.” “Oh dear, how I wish I could have gone,” sighed Helen, “I’m going every morning after this, rain or shine.” We were now enjoying ourselves by singing all the latest songs while preparing breakfast. Jane detested housework, but she drew the slip which read: “Fry the eggs and make the coffee.” The kitchen was so very small that we had to put our stoves into the bed room, and of course, this was not very comfortable, but most any- thing will do when one is camping. “Oh I wish they’d hurry with the milk,” said Helen. “I’m so hun- gry.” “Who knows when they’ll get back,” said Ruth. “They call that house the house with a hundred fences around it, and if they’re not careful they may get entangled in the wire.” We were singing at the top of our voices when Jane suddenly stopped. “Listen, girls,” she said, “something has happened and they are calling for help.” ; I immediately picked up the megaphone and called: “What’s the matter?” but no one answered. I called again, ‘“What’s the matter?” “Oh, help us. Help!’ came the sound of a very trembling voice. “My goodness, what has happened? Have they fallen in, or what’s all this noise about?” said Jane. IT immediately dropped the horn and ran, or almost flew down a flight of about one-hundred stairs. My heart was thumping in my throat. “Help! Help! We’re drowning,” came the call again, but much fainter. By this time I was at the bottom of the hill, and to my amazement saw three of the girls slowly drifting down stream. What were they yelling about? I couldn’t imagine, for they looked as safe in the boat as I did on land. “Oh, help us. Take that boat and row out to get us. Please do. Hurry, we’re drifting away,” was the plea from Doris who was already sitting in the bottom of the boat. “What are you making such a fuss about?” I inquired. “Call Mr. Jones, he’s up at the cottage. Hurry, we’re drifting toward THE FLAMBEAU the dam. Don’t let us drown,” called the girls. By this time two of them were in tears. They gradually drifted closer to shore but imagined they were drift- ing way down stream. After quite a bit of questioning I found that they had lost an oar- lock and didn’t know how to paddle. “What's all this noise about?” asked an unfamiliar voice. To our astonishment we saw before us, Mr. Jones, who, we understand, had come to Ravine Camp for a complete rest. “You girls scare the life out of a person,” said he. “Oh, Mr. Jones,” cried the girls, ‘please help us. We have lost our oar- lock and can’t row. Come and get us, please do! We’re drifting toward the dam—Oh, please, hurry!” Mr. Jones, although very much excited and rather angry over the disturbance, got into his boat and pulled the rest in. They surely were a sad looking group when they landed. He then went across the river and got Peg and the other two girls. Very much disgusted, he left us. With not a little awe in our voices we tried to call our thanks after him as he indifferently hurried up the hill. Then, amidst a great deal of laughter and joking, we hastened te the cottage, the smell of the good coffee quickening our footsteps. My Liberty Shoes By ELFRIEDA BOEDER ’19 A soft, worn pair of sneakers brown, Stand on the closet floor. The heels are low, and quite worn down. Hear what I used them for! These shoes of which I am so proud, Have served their purpose well; Although they cannot talk aloud They do have much to tell. For after many months of war, We’ve had parades enough To make our very shoes deplore The fact that war is tough. Of these parades which we have had, My shoes know which was best; The peace parades, which made hearts glad, And laid my shoes to rest. THE FLAMBEAU But not to rest continually, For leather is too high; So when my feet ache painfully, Cn these I oft’ rely. What else could give such comfoxt great? They’ve busy been as bees! Say, can’t some millionaire donate A case of gold for these? My Picture By EDNA GRETHER ’19 In the chair at Glander’s, that’s the place for me Pretty nearly every day, an’ every hour I’m free. I’ve got to fix my hair up, and I’ve got to fix my tie, An’ I’ve got to put a grin on, just as tho’ I’m feelin’ spiy, Though perhaps I’m awfully tired and perhaps I’m lazy too, And it might be that I’m grouchy and a feeling rather blue. In the chair at Glander’s, that’s the place for me, Either for the History Club, the Latin or the Glee. There’s one to take most every night, you may depend on that. And you’ve got to go and do it, if you’re medium, thin or fat. And you stand up on a big long box with others of your lot, And before each one is seated right, I’ll say you’ll feel quite hot. In tae chair at Glanders’, that’s the place for me, Pretty nearly every day and every hour I’m free, And I sit there just as calmly and put on the sweetest pose, Yet I can’t deny I’m thinking of the freckles on my nose. And when I see the pictures and how good they are of me, I say to the photographer, “How could it ever be?” A Perfect Night By AUGUSTA NIELSEN It happened this way. I was walking along the street when the chairman of the refreshment committee stopped me and asked me if I would serve as waitress at the “Prom.” “I may go, may I, Mother?” I urged. “Well, we’ll see what father says about it.” Mother is always too cautious, it seems to me. THE FLAMBEAU Oh, the anxiety I felt! One moment I felt I surely shouldn’t be al- lowed to go, and the next I was just as positive that I would. Finally it was decided that I could go. You may be sure I was just as happy as 1 could be then. Night after night I would try putting my hair up, and } was surely delighted with some of the coiffures I secured. I lay awake long after I had gone to bed, planning for the night that never seemed to come. The days dragged themselves by, and I had to continue to prepare _ my lessons, even though I was going to the “Prom.” Then one night when I had just finished fixing my hair, mother came into my room, and saw me. For a moment she gazed at me in aston- ishment. Then she kindly informed me that I was not going to wear my hair in such an outlandish fashion, but in a braid, as I always did. I felt very much disappointed for awhile, but I was somewhat compensated for my disappointment by having a new dress and coat. The days seemed never to pass, and I counted them down to six days, five, four, three, two, and finally one. Friday night arrived and I hurried home from school. After supper, which I could hardly swallow, I hurried to dress though I wasn’t due at Dorothy’s house until 9:15 or so. My brotker was to take me there, and he became wearied by my im- patience, so I got there early. We waited anxiously for her father to appear with the car. Finally, after what seemed to me, endless moments, we collected the rest of the girls and drove to the Opera House. When we reached it, two of us were set to work folding napkins. Above us, tne people were just beginning to dance, and our feet couldn’t help but keep time to the music. After we had finished the napkins, there was nothing for us to do until 11:15, so, except for the girls who were serving punch, we went up into a box to watch the fun. To my eyes, unaccustomed to such sights, it seemed the most beau- tiful thing I’d ever seen. The hall was so very, very beautiful. And the music—suen wonte:ful music. But best of all, I liked the dresses of the girls. Some had silk dresses, the very thing which I had wanted, but of which mother didn’t approve, saying they were too grown-up for a girl of my age. Naturally, I disagreed with her. Over there, dancing with the good-looking, tall man, was a girl in a bright red dress. There was even one of my own classmates there, not as a waitress but as an actual guest. Oh, I knew so many of the people, and I just loved every single one of their dresses. And every one wore some bouquet or other, which someone kindly informed me, had been sent to each one by her escort. I didn’t have to wonder what my mother would have thought about it. It seems that I shall never be enough grown up for some things. I could have sat there watching the beautiful scene all evening, but it was eleven o’clock already, and we had to begin serving. Then we were kept busy serving the cake and ice-cream. Then somebody THE FLAMBEAU added to our troubles by calling for water. There were only a few olasses and everybody wanted a drink. Finally, the rush died down, 30 we had a chance to eat some ice- eream, and cake. I do like ice-cream. Just before I went downstairs to get it, the president of the Senior class asked me to dance with him, wnen I came back from my refreshments. I was so glad, I could hardly finish my ice-cream. But just after I had finished, Dorothy’s father came, and I had the mortification of telling that boy that I should have to go home—just lke a child. 1t certainly was humiliating. Dorothy and I went home with him. Ever since, I have regretted having taken time to eat that ice-cream. The Sea Gull By MARY MEYER ’19 The sea gull on a wintry day, Above the lake does love to play; Now down among the cold ice-cakes He dives; a wintry bath he takes. Then on the bridge awhile he stays, And we his gray-white plumage praise. To Our Clock By LOUISE GAUGER ’19 O faithful clock in room two, I dedicate these lines to you. O faithful clock, in oaken case, How oft I read your cold pale face. Some days you tick so very slow, Forthen my lessons, I don’t know; Those days, how oft I look at you, And wish dismissal bell were due. I look at you around noon time, You tell us when it’s time to dine; But you don’t stop to talk or eat, But steadily the time do beat. Oh yes, we know you are our friend, As home our way we gaily wend; And all night long your watch you keep, And never pause to take a sleep. THE FLAMBEAU Oh! would that I could always dwell With fiowerets blooming in the dell To while away the happy hours, I’d speak the language of the flowers They’d tell their secrets unto me And I would listen joyfully, Oh! would that I could always dwell, With flowerets that I love so well. By BLANCHE TEITGEN ’19 The Hardest Work I Ever Did By HARRY WILLIAMS ’19 It happened during the “Flu” vacation. A friend of mine told me he had a job at which he earned five dollars a day. This sounded good and upon questioning him, I found that he was going to hire out as a common laborer. Te was going to work the ne xt day at half-past six, at the Hous- ing Project, shoveling sand. It sounded so good to me that I decided to try it, too, so the next morning we started out at five o’clock and headed for the site. When we arrived we immediately applied for a job. My friend did not get anything to do as he was too young; but I signed a card, received a big shovel and was sent down to the ship yards with another boy to load wagons. I noticed on the card that we were treated as shovelers, and we certainly lived up to our title. At the shipyards our work was not very hard, we only loaded seven wagons a day, a piece. While the wagons were discharging their loads at the site, time hung heavily on our hands. But there never was a good thing that could last, for, after three days of leis- ure, the boss sent us back to the site. Here we certainly earned our money. ‘We worked from half-past six in the morning urtil five at night with one half an hour for lunch. I believe there was never a minute during those whole ten hours that we didn’t have a shovel in our hands. We worked up at the site for eight days and then resi gned. Being a common laborer is all right but to my way of thinking there are many more things I’d rather do than shovel sand. Oh! I love to be a Senior So learned and so great, And strut around the rooms and hall So proud and so sedate. And skeer the little Freshies Who go loiterin’ in the hall, THE FLAMBEAU And tell them if they don’t behave They’ll soon begin to bawl. And oh! they do adore us, There’s envy in their eyes, That longing hope down in their hearts To be a Senior wise. And when at last they’re Seniors Ain’t you sorry for those who Will be dominated over By the class of ’22? By EDNA GRETHER ’19 Dan Wins the War By ALICE GROFFMAN ’19 My name is Bob Cameron and I’m twelve years’ old. I’ve got a big brother Dan, and he’s twenty-one years’ old. I’m going to tell you about him, and, believe me, he’s worth knowing about. Of course, when Uncle Sam got into the big scrap, Dan was keen on going the first thing. So was IJ, for that matter, but naturally, I couldn’t. Well, he talked it over with Mother and Father, and his pal, Tom Ballard, and they decided to let him go. They weren’t exactly happy about it, but they’re all good sports and took it just fine. Even Mother didn’t make any serious objections because she knew Uncle Sam needed him so badly, and he could help save some of those poor little Belgian kids. Dan wanted to join the navy; so he went up town to a naval recruit- ing station and there got instructions to go to Great Lakes. Of course, everybody went to the station to see him off. Jean (that’s my little sister), started to cry, but I poked her and told her Dan wouldn’t like it, and she managed to keep still about it anyway. Pretty good for such a little kid, when even my throat felt kind of funny. Dan stood on the platform and talked and laughed as if. his going away were nothing new; and then his train came. He kissed Mother and the kid good-bye, banged me on the back, nearly squeezed the breath out of Dad and Tom, and jumped on board just as the train started. He stood on the back platform waving his cap. His black hair was all ruffled ap from the wind and his grin was about a mile wide, and gee! things seemed to change color when that train swung out of sight around the corner. Then we all piled into the car and went home, and nobody said a word. The next night we got a card from him, saying he was all right and waiting for further orders. Then all of a sudden we got a letter from Norfolk, Virginia, telling us what boat he was on and how he liked his job even though he did have to do his own washing, and dress and be ready THE FLAMBEAU for inspection in twenty minutes. He used to like lying in bed in the morning. But jet’s get on to the excitement. He surely did have some. I guess PU quote it right from his letter because you’ll get the idea better that: way: “Dear Folks: Guess I must be luckier than most chaps, because things have been exciting right from the start. I only stayed in Norfolk for ten days. Then our boat went out with a big load of troops. About the third night out it was cloudy, and a fine drizzly rain was falling. The fellows were all sitting around writing letters, talking, or singing and enjoying themselves hugely. They had a couple of ukes, a mandolin and a fiddle and we had a regu- lar Hawaiian orchestra. “When we were right in the middle of “Smile, Smile, Smile,” all of a sudden there came an awful crash that shook the boat from bow to stern and you could fairly feel it slip sideways. The song stopped with a jerk and there was absolute silence for an instant while faces began to go white. We thought sure a torpedo had struck us and it was a toss up whether we lived or died. Some of the fellows came mighty near losing their nerve, but all of a sudden some one struck up the chorus we had been singing. That turnd the trick immediately. We finished the last line with a rush, and by the time we got on deck, we were grinning like a lot of de- mented chimpanzees, though most of us looked as though our. smiles had been frozen on. “Everything was absolutely orderly. We waited for a few minutes to see what had really happened, and then the report came that we had bumped into an English boat that had been running without any lights. The English boat was rather seriously damaged, but able to make port safely, and we went on with only a few small repairs to be made. Believe me, there were a good many sighs of relief.” From there on Dan told us about the friends he had made, and that Tom Ballard was on the George Washington, another transport. Tom had left the week after Dan went. After that things went smoothly for Dan for quite a while. Then one day we got a letter from him saying he had had rather an exciting trip. Said he’d been dumped into the water and got himself smashed up a bit but was nearly well again and coming home on a furlough soon. He just told us a few of the details, and my goodness! you’d have thought he’d been taking dancing lessons for all the excitement he put into it. It was Tom’s letter that really told us about Dan, and he didn’t leave out a single thing. He said Dan had helped blow up a submarine and after he had been dumped into the water when his boat was sinking, he had broken an arm and dislocated a shoulder in rescuing his comrades. Finally, after he had floated around in an open boat for a while, he had been picked THE FUAMBEAU 2B up by Tom’s boat, the George Washingtcn, and he was the biggest hero on board. He had been raised to a lieutenant and was to have a place on the George Washington as soon as his arm and shoulder were mended. Well, Dan came home, all right, and we were mighty proud of him. We just had a high old time for a while. When he went back, he was in just as good condition as he had ever been. He got on the George Wash- ington all right. Tom saw to that. It certainly was dandy for him to be on the same boat with his chum and he enjoyed it. Then, on November eleventh, came the news that the armistice had been signed and everybody just simply went wild. We got a letter from Dan telling us all about the celebration in New York, and it was awfully interesting. But, according to him, the greatest piece of news, which came a little later, was that the President was going to France on the George Washington. Of course we were all awfully excited and could hardly wait for the letter telling us about it, but it came at last: “Dear Folks: Of course, there is only one thing for me to tell you about this time, and that’s President Wilson. He certainly is splendid, and I wish you might have met him and heard him talk as I did. He is just as simple and natural as any man and us fellows all fell for him the first thing. He would talk to a bunch of us just as if he were one of us. When I think of him, I think of Lincoln at the same time because he has that same keen insight combined with gentleness and simplicity in all he does. You folks back there can be certain you have picked a man for President who knows ‘ what’s right and what isn’t, and one who will have the strength of char- acter to choose the right every time, no matter what effect it may have on him.” : From there on Dan raved some more about the President, but I couldn’t possibly tell you all he said, it seemed to me that Dan was most as important. At the end he said he didn’t know when he would be dis- charged, but when his turn did come, he’d start for home like a house afire. But we’ll let Mother wind up this story about Dan. She ought to be allowed that much because Dan is her son as much as he is my brother. We were all sitting around the fire talking over Dan’s experiences and we had come to the end. Mother was watching the blaze with a kind of dreamy look in her eyes. Finally she said, “Father, we did our best for Dan, but we could not do everything; part of it lay with him. In this war he has proved his metal and stood one of the most severe tests that could be put to him. God willing, he is coming back to us yet, and, because of his experience, a better man than he went away; and when he does come, we'll—we’ll, why Father! we’ll be just about the happiest people on earth!” And you bet, we all agreed, MA | {r A G Ys: We Mp ae OAK — THY gs i Vip CMY Hae WM UN i Uy, ie fie | Ht | May t) ih i Hie (NU) (Up E 1 FUN NT uf, YH i pry; — — 5 i; YY FZ AY LN ij YY AGA Os Hah ud F thir a THE ALUMNI NEWS !

Big Strike At the Shipyards The city was in an uproar this morning when the members of the Shipbuilders’ Union went on a strike. Richard Torrison, the presi- dent of this great labor union, con- sidering $15.00 a day too meager a salary, ordered the men to strike. However, at two o’clock this after- noon everything was peaceful at the yards, since the opposing par- ties came to the decision that $14.00 was sufficient. Boon to Common Health, New Sanitarium Founded J. Niedercorn, Lorreta Dusold, and R. Sullivan, three of our most prominent doctors, have founded a sanitarium for spring-fever.

THE FLAMBEAU STUBBIE By LUELLA NIENABER ’19 I’m just a little pencil, Insignificant ’tis true, But, goodness, if you would know The hardships I’ve passed through. I once was quite a beauty, In yellow gown was dressed, My golden band just glittered, My lead was of the best. One day my mistress took me To an examination, And there she held me in her mouth While lost in contemplation. It must have been a hard exam, I shudder to recall it, For several times those big white teeth Bit me, and Oh, I felt it. Until I thought I’d surely die, And now just look at me My color’s gone, eraser, too Those ugly teeth marks one can see. My band no longer glitters I’m short and stubby too, I’ve been lost about a thousand times, I’ve done my bit, have you? In all the excitement and hurry and scurry of commencement we must not forget Miss Hubbard, who has been our loyal adviser and assist- ant in putting out our High School Annual. We owe her a special vote of thanks both for her valuable aid in this and in helping and urging us on with our MANITOU work. With the combined efforts of the MANIHOU and FLAMBEAU staffs and with Miss Hubbard’s supervision, we have succeeded in issuing both papers. We heartily wish the members of both departments success in their next year’s work. E. G. THE FLAMBEAU Ralph Houghton Arthur Reinken Mildred Wimmler .

THE FLAMBEAU Sophomore Surury By HOWARD DUMMER ’21 As a representative of the Sophomores, I am taking the opportunity to call to your attention the good work of that class. In reviewing all the things which the Sophomore class has done, I have found that they are active, industrious, energetic, and progressive. In fact, I think they are the star class of the school. Although the Sophomore basketball team did not turn out to be the champion of the school, they did very good work. They won a game from the Freshmen, and almost beat the Seniors in a very hard fight in which the Seniors won just as the whistle blew. We also put up a hard fight against the Juniors. In this game both teams played well, as the score was kept way down, it being only eight to four in favor of the Juniors. The Sophomore team must have been good, because three members were chosen from our team to play on the first team of the high school. This is quite an honor for the Sophomores. Just wait until next year, and we will show the other teams what we can do. I hope and really believe that we will have the best team of the school next. year. The Sophomore class showed very good class spirit. The basketball games. were attended by many Sophomores, who yelled a great deal for their team. Another honor which we have is that we are the largest Sophomore class that was ever registered in this high school. I hope that we shall have a large class all the way through school, and that the Sophomore class of - 1919 will graduate as the largest class that ever received diplomas. The honor roll is always well represented by Sophomores. Our list is always the largest in comparison to the size of our class. The per cent of pupils from the different classes who were on the honor roll this year was as follows: Seniors had 12% on the honor roll; Juniors, 12.1%; Sophomores, 12.2% ; Freshmen, 12.1%. This shows that our class has qual- ity as well as quantity. We are not only capable mentally, but also indus- triously. The Military Company contains many Sophomore boys. Most of the corporals and lance corporals are Sophomores. Just about half of the members of the Military Company are Sophomores. This is something to be proud of. All of the Clubs of the High Schools, except certain class Clubs, are well represented by Sophomores. Of all the members of the Radio-Electro Club, fifty-three per cent. are Sophomores. Twenty-seven per cent. of the members of the High School Debating Society are Sophomores. The Sophomore girls have a Club of their own called the Trailer Club. All this shows that the Sophomores, the class of 21, are alive and praiseworthy. THE FLAMBEAU Please Have a Care By TED KRUEGER ’21 Only a man in the forest green, Only a match dropped unseen, A little flame, some leaves, some wood, Only a waste where the forest stood. If By EMMA SAND ’21 One good habit is to try to cut from the dictionary, from conversa- tion, and from life that big little word Jf. People reach that word, fall down, and go no farther. If they would refuse to see it and walk around it and beyond that If, they could go on traveling the road that leads to courage, success; and freedom. One man will say, “If I had a father to send me to college—” Another, “If I had inherited a fortune—” Still others say, “If I didn’t have to worry about this or that, I’d show the world what I could do.” Each goes as far as that if but no farther; but the people you admire are those whose dictionaries have no if, those who pass on without seeing or caring about those two big letters. If is too long by only one letter. The world asks each day, “Who can do it?” Most begin their answers “If I can—” Cut one letter out of that short sentence (F) and let the answer be, “J; J can.” Go around it, through it, over it, or under it, but don’t let any “af” stop you. , A Day Dream By CAROLYN SCHIPPER ’21 Oh, the wonderful gym, with its long rows of windows, with decora- tions everywhere. The girls had certainly decorated very nicely. Our very own gymnasium. They had hired some men to wax the floor. I can just see myself gliding over it to the music of ‘Till We Meet Again.” The party that our club was giving was the next evening. That day was Thursday. If it were only Friday night! I was on the refreshment committee, and the “eats” were just delicious: ice cream galore, cakes, and other delicacies. We were going to play many nice games and dance later. All of a sudden I could see about one hundred and fifty people all lined up for the grand march. That was wonderful. The teachers, too, were in it, all having a good time. Amidst all the confusion and confetti I suddenly heard a bell ring. THE FLUAMBEAU Was it a five bell or church, or what? Then it occurred to me that I was in the main assembly, and it had been only a day dream. Some Rare Definitions Heard In Sophomore Classes By JAMES TIMLIN ’21 | egret: a kind of plant cameo: an article of clothing cockroach: a sort of bird apprehend: reprehend corps: corpse oculist: a fish inspiration: perspiration Discipline and Obedience By OLENE HEALY ’21 __ One of the most important things to be considered for the good of Manitowoc High School is discipline, and another is obedience. You find in the nation, state, army, navy, and any other organization of this sort, that the first things enforced are discipline and obedience. In our high school, discipline and obedience have been enforced to a certain degree; but, if they were enforced to a greater degree, our school would be much better than it is. . The pupils of the school are inclined to think they do not always have to obey the teacher. For instance, Miss A. tells John D. to report two nights in the tardy room, for whispering in class, and when he gets out of the class-room, this is what you sometimes hear: “Oh! Gee! I guess T’ll skip. She’ll not know it anyway!” Then probably he won’t appear, and nobody knows, (unless Miss A. has signed the tardy book for him, which strict discipline would require). Is this the right thing for a boy or girl to do? By no means. A boy or girl, who grows up, accustomed to doing this, has not an enviable future. These boys and girls are to make the coming nation, and if they are not trained to obey, during their school life, do you suppose that they will form a good nation? In order that the United States or even the city of Manitowoc may have good loyal citizens, every school boy and girl must be taught disci- pline and obedience. Therefore, boys and girls, obey your parents and teachers no matter what they bid you to do. THE FLAMBEAU Sreshnen Notes The Most Important Class? [Blame it on to the Engraver] FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS President, Mollie Rahr Secretary, Artemus Russel Vice-President, Harold Powers Are You a Minute Man? By LUCILE POLLOCK ’22 -Have you ever, while gazing about the main assembly wnen ec | you didn’t care to study, when it made littie difference to you whether you were prepared to recite or not, carefully observed the picture of the “Minute Man”? That picture represents only one of the loyal class of colonists called ‘““Minute Men” who were ready at a minute’s notice to respond to the call of their country. Their promptness and readiness to shoulder arms wasamatter of great importance to the welfare of the struggling colonists. Has it ever occurred to you why this picture was put in the main room? Why that picture instead of another? It was put there to remind you that you also should be a minute man. That you too should be ready with your gun if necessity demands; but in the meantime keep your hand on the plough. Z THE MINUTEMAN. THE FLAMBEAU How many ways there are in every day life to be a minute man. Are you one? Are you always ready to contribute material for your school maga- zine, to attend Glee Club practice and society meetings, and to take part in your club programs? Can you be depended upon in time of necessity for whatever is asked of you? Your community needs minute men. Your country needs minute men. Devastated Europe needs minute men to feed and to care for the suffering. The Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. are great organizations made up of splendid examples of minute men. What a great deal of precious time would be saved if we were all minute men! Be not only ready on the minute, but save time whenever you can. That was the aim of the minute men, for by saving time they brought nearer that tree- dom for which they fought. It is the wish of our government that we save. Save food, save fuel, save clothing, and save time. Be a minute man. A Child’s Prayer By MILDRED HANSEN ’22 Lord, give me sleep that I may live, The wrongs I’ve done this day, forgive; Bless every deed and thought and word, That I have done, or said, or heard. All this day Thy hand hath led me, And I thank Thee for Thy care; Thou hast clothed me, warmed me, fed me— Listen to my evening prayer.

Hurrah! Freshmen By LAURA GATERHAN ’22 Oh! You students called Seniors famed, Aren’t you in the least ashamed, That you were beat by Freshies small, While playing with a basket ball? After all we are not so bad, For we got ahead of each Senior lad. The score was thirteen to twenty-three, In favor of the Freshmen, you see. So stop to consider the Freshman affairs, And don’t assume such haughty airs, THE FLAMBEAU HJunior High Srhonl Notes Little Freshmen By AGNES PEDERSON ’22 We are but little Freshmen, We’re jeered and laughed at, too; The Seniors think us playthings, The Juniors look us through. We’ve often gazed in wonder Upon the Senior class; And o’er and o’er did ponder “How green we are, alas!’ We were a little frightened Of Seniors, tall.and bold; And sometimes were enlightened By tales they did unfold. We lost all fear of Seniors When at the live ball game We met them; and, undaunted, We beat them just the same. War Activities of the Madison Junior High School Not to mention the hundreds of articles made by the students for the Red Cross, nor the $1,000.00 worth of Stamps sold in the children’s Thanksgiving Crusade, the following tabulations tell what the students of the Madison Junior High School have done, in the year closing, in a pecun- iary way to help win the Great War.

We are truly proud of what we as a school have done. THE FULAMBEAU At the present time we are engaged in a new drive to inculcate thrift, for which lesson, we look to our great American example,—Poor Richard. In every room Thrift Societies have been formed with names like these: “Pershing War Savings Society,” “Uncle Sam’s Willing Work- ers,” “Willing Savers’ Society,” “Wee Yanks Saving Society,” ete. Before another day passes, we shall also have decided on the num- ber of French orphans the student body of our school shall adopt. Many students do not know whether to use their money for this. latter good cause or whether to follow the voice of Mr. Boyce who tells us thrift is a great virtue. That Monday Morning Feeling By ALYCE COOKLE ’22 When the sun comes up on Monday morn, And wakens you too soon, You stop to think what day it is, And then you nearly swoon. Friday’s such a long way; You hardly can believe You'll ever reach that goal again, Time, does so deceive. Monday is the long day And the blackboards all are covered With notices you stand and read Until you’re nearly smothered. You feel that Monday grouch again, It’s mighty hard to shake it. Cheer up, Friday’s four days’ off, Just hurry, and you’ll make it. At the Game By CALISTA GEHBE ’22 Excitement, thrills—they’re all on hand When each class tries the prize to land, The fun is lively—never rough, Our boys know just what is enough. The yells resound throughout the hall When e’er a player has the ball: “Zipps” and “Susie” we like the most, The other side with yells we roast, And jazz—you like it? Well, I guess! When dancing starts we cannot rest, The “Freshmen” with the Senior’s tall; Their steps our modest eye appall. At half past eleven we’re almost dead, By midnight we’re at home in bed; We dream about the game till noon, Wishing another would come soon. Summertime By JEAN A. JOHNSRUD ’22 The birds are singing sweetly, And the whole world seems to share In the gladsome song of summer And all its joys so rare. The daisies and wild roses And the meadows sweet with hay Accompany glad summertime In all her bright array. The bobolinks and thrushes With sweet music fill the air, But best of all bright summer brings Vacation sweet and fair. The worries are forgotten; Exams are of the past; The tardy-room’s a shadow Too dark and gray to last. Now come the joys of camping, Fishing, swimming, and. the rest, That cottage on the lake shore Will seem forever blest. The lake is there before us, Favored haunts the woods disclose, The picnic grounds are waiting To heal our many woes, THE FLAMBEAU Alumnt October 3, 1918.

Dear Friend: Xmas was celebrated by the boys as best they could, but it was far different from a Xmas in the States. The Y. helped us to celebrate by having two camouflaged Xmas trees. One of the trees was a pine and the other a holly and both were covered with tinsel. At 10 A. M. we assembled in the Y. to listen to a lecture instead of a sermon, and after the lecture we got our Xmas package which was donat ed by the Y. Downtown I saw a municipal washing place, and I watched the women while they washed. A tank level with the floor is filled with running warm water, and a board placed at an angle of 450 serves as a washboard. The clothes are scrubbed with a scrubbing brush, and occasionally spanked with a wooden ladle. There isn’t much activity in this camp, except once in a while when THE FLUAMBEAU a company moves out and another takes its place, the latest arrivals were some Chinese. They are the laziest people I’ve come across and the strong- es t. They put on all the clothes that were issued to them, including over- coat and slickers, when they shovel coal, and some of them wear straw hats. Regards to friends, JAMES NOBLE. THE FLAMBEAU A Trip to Kewaunee By “CHARLIE” and “SKORNI” ’19 After dinner all footsteps were turned toward the high school where a squad of automobiles was in readiness to carry the M. H. S. football stars to Kewaunee. The last car was just about to leave. We stood on the side- walk, still waiting for a chance to get a ride to Kewaunee. We were left without a car. All of a sudden “Stubs” hailed us and said, “Come on, you fellows, jump in, there’s room for one more.” There actually was room for only one more, but two had jumped in, therefore “Charlie” had to be satisfied with a seat made up of suitcases and grips. We started off merrily and sailed at a lively speed. We were soon in sight of a group of automobiles and upon arrival at the place, found it to be our own rooters and team mates. They had started about half an hour ahead of us, but were stalled on account of a blowout. They were. work- ing busily at the tire, while we stood by giving them the laugh. They finally managed to repair the tire and suggested that we move on, because of the fact that it was growing quite late. We agreed to the suggestion, but when we got to our car, “Skorni” discovered that there was a flat tire on our car. Then we certainly did get the laugh from the ones we had laughed at a little while before. We worked fast and by luck managed to repair the tire. Again we started, but we did not go very far when we noticed another flat tire. We also discovered a fiat grip on which “Charlie” had been sitting, and which had been borrowed by “Kid” Mangles for the purpose of carrying nothing more than a pair of football sox for the occa- sion. When he beheld the sad condition the grip was in, he sadly pulled the lonely pair of sox out and threw the grip out of the car. “That’s what happens to borrowed things, and the person from whom I borrowed it, will charge me a fortune for it,” he remarked very soberly. While “Stubs” and “Rob” were repairing the puncture, we tied the flat grip to the back of the car so that it would drag along the road, and it certainly did raise the dust. The other cars had left us long before this and the question arose whether we would be on time. “Another blowout!’ were the words heard from all in the car and it really was one. By this time we all were con- vinced that we surely would be late, so ‘Charlie’? made a suggestion that we dress while “Stubs” and “Rob” were fixing the tire. “I’m game,” were the words heard from everyone, so we started to change clothes. ‘“Stubs’ and “Rob” got busy at the tire while “Charlie,” “Skorni,”’ “Issey,” and “Kid” Mangles indulged in the art of dressing up for the first football game of the season. ‘Charlie’? was in the car while the rest were lined along the fence, trying to make a quick change in case some one should come around. When we were about half through, a car was seen coming THE FULAMBEAU toward ours. ’ “Duck your heads!’ were the words from all, for there was no place for refuge and it looked quite dangerous to remain where we were. There was general confusion around the car. “Charlie” crowled into his suit- case; “Kid” looked for his, but to his disgust, found only a small portion of it and that portion wasn’t large enough for him to crawl into; “Skorni” crawled under the car, and “Issey” beat it to the woods. When we were all ready to meet the disadvantage, the car turned in the opposite direc- tion and we drew a long breath, while “Stubbs” and “Rob” sat beside the fence roaring with laughter. We reached Kewaunee at last and were all in trim for the fray. III Intermission—game III When the game was over, we all went down to the ice-cream parlor to be refreshed. ‘‘Charlie’’ seemed to be in a hurry for he disappeared before we were through. We waited for his return, but he certainly did take his time. At last we decided to go, thinking that he had left in an- other car, when all of a sudden we heard a yell and when we turned around, to our disgust and indignation, we saw ‘Charlie’ busily engaged in con- versation with a fair Kewaunee maid. He seemed very much excited for he talked to her as if to tell her as much as possible in the short time that was left. We gave the car a soft drink before we started, and it worked ac- cording to the treatment we had given it. Early dinner and no supper makes Jack a dull boy, and the same was the case with us. “Stubs” de- cided that we get some apples from one of the farms which we were pass- ing and the suggestion was followed out. We stopped at one of the farms and “Stubs” and “Kid” went to gather the ripe fruit. When they had their arms full, a large dog seemed to appear from nowhere and the poor fellows returned with hardly enough for themselves. None of us attempted to enter another orchard after the treatment our comrades had suffered. We again were sailing away at a lively speed, and were only three miles from our objective when another blowout occurred and this time it looked quite sad as we had no inner tubes, and all the extra tires had given up their existence; so “Stubs” at last decided to leave the car in posses- sion of “Rob,” “Issey,” and “Kid,” and walk to town for the repairs. “Skorni” and “Charlie” were standing in the road hailing every car that came along trying to get a ride home, and at last they succeeded in that way and reached home at 10 o’clock. “Stubs” reached home with the car at 12:00 o’clock. Thus ended the eventful trip to Kewaunee, and that is not all; “Kid Mangles” told us the next day that the suitcase cost him two dollars, while he claimed he could have bought the same kind of a paper box for one dollar and a half: EDW ZAHORIK THE EVOLUTION : OF A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT (ry nee —_ ae NS peaks ORD | aM = { THE MANITOU STAFF THE FLAMBEAU The Manitou Staff By MILDRED WIMMLER ’19 That fine exponent of the school spirit of our M.

The staff does not think of its success, however, w-thout remember- ing the heaity support and inspiration they have received from Miss Hub- bard, the adviser. She deserves a vote of thanks for all she has done for the school and its representative, the MANITOU. It took a great deal. of work in the part of the workers and the editor to organize the material that was brought in, into a good live school paper. Look at the editor and her assistant! Their very faces show a desire to present a good paper. The broad brow and firm expression of each member of the staff shows intelligence and ability. The artists pre- ° sent possibilities of a brilliant future. The athletics and local departments exhibit able representatives. From the contented expressions of the busi- ness managers we can easily surmise that they have taken the best of caré of the finances. Put all the efforts together, we have the product—our MANITOU!

Manitowoc Hich School Debating Society By RICHARD MARQUARDT ’20 . The past year has been a very successful one for the Manitowoc High School Debating Society. Many new members were admitted and many interesting debates and.talks were given. The purpose of the society is to give its members practice in debating and public speaking. - All of the boys on the two. High School debating teams are members of this society. The program committee made a special effort to have up-to-date subjects, so that the debates would be beneficial to the members. Some of the de- bates held during the year were as follows: Resolved, That capital pun- ishment should be abolished in the U. S.; That the U. S. Navy should be increased; That the manufacture of Beer and Wine containing no more than three per cent. alcohol should be allowed; That the Philippines should be given their independence. The doors of the society are open to all male students of our High School and it is hoped that during-the next year many more will join.

DEBATING TEAMS Our Inter-Scholastic gs gs By CATHERINE SCHULTE ”’ This is the first year “that Manitowoc has belonged to the State Debat- ing League, under the auspices of the Lawrence RNC: Our triangle included West Bend, Plymouth, and Manitowoc. On Valentine’s Day, we can all remember, Manitowoc’s two teams participated in the debate. “Resolved, That a League of Nations to guarantee permanent peace is practical,” was the question for discussion. AT MANITOWOC The Plymouth team was accompanied by several rooters; and these together with our (crowded?). audience, filled (?) the main room. Their team consisted of Wayne Limberg, Althea Albrecht, and Har- old Houlkes. They were very good speakers, each presenting marked ora- tory, with interesting and lively arguments. But our team proved itself the better. Kenneth Nicholson opened the affirmative for us and gave a precise explanation of the question. His arguments were vigorous and right to the point. He made an excellent beginning on our side. Ruth Thompson continued on the affirmative, and in her convincing manner presented her argument in such a manner as to leave no doubt as to the practicability of a League of Nations. Darwin Pitz was the “captain”, and he assured everyone of this fact not only by his forceful speaking, but also by his logical arguments. Defeat for our team was out of the question when Darwin had finished speaking. Professor Hewitt of Oshkosh was the judge. His decision was read by Mr. F. M. Head, chairman: Affirmative -. - - - Manitowoc - - - 87 Negative - - - - Plymouth - - - 86 Both teams scored equally in their main speeches, but Manitowoc, with its extemporaneous rebuttals, defeated Plymouth. AT WEST BEND Our negative team reached West Bend safely under the chaperonage of Miss Jones. The West Bend tcam consisted of Dorothy Reichert, Delbert Schmahl, and Herbeit Bitz. Their speakers were excellent, and their work was gieetly influenced by the school spirit and the enthusiasm of the very large audience. ffl The school has been in the league for a number of years, and has a wonderful debating record. Adolph Mangles was our first negative speaker. He began calmly with an explanation of the quest’on, but crescendoed on his main points, so that his speech impressed the audience. He asked many questions for the affi: mative to answer. Catherine Schulte continued the negative arguments. She gave her points very clearly, and tried to show how ene the plan for a League of Nation was. Milton Stangel, the leader, then arose, and with very powerful deliv- ery, presented the essential arguments. He showed that economic boycott and international arbitration could not work. His speech was excellent. The three judges here were: George Balzer - - - Prin. Washington H. S., Milwaukee. Frank Murray - - - Prin. of West Div. H.S., Milwaukee. Wm. W. Wuesthoff - - History Teacher of Normal. Their decision was 2 to 1 in favor of West Bend. It was mainly in their rebuttals that West Bend slightly surpassed Manitowoc, and thus made the decision very difficult. Of the original triangle Plymouth won, with Manitowoc a very close second. All the debaters worked hard and persistently. Their efforts showed good results because they worked jointly, so that their points related to each other. Although we were defeated in one decision, we can be proud of the remarkable results of Manitowoc’s first attempt at Interstate debating; and our year’s record will have a greater influence when our school joins another triangle next year. We shall have three of our debaters with us next year and we know their experience will prove to be very val- uable. We wish them heaps of success. AOYAWNOO AO UAANVHO AOINAL THE FLAMBEAU Junior Chamber of Commerce By GLADYS BAHR ’19 “Umph! what does this mean. J. C. C. Never saw that on an an- nouncement before. I guess that stands for Juniors Can Come—maybe but where ? Or perhaps Juniors—Cats Can’t”, the Freshman uttered to himself as he looked at the paper and scratched his head. “What is bothering you?” a Senior friend asked. “You look so puz- zled.” “Will you please tell me what J. C. C. Means?” asked the Freshie. “Why, you bonehead, Junior Chamber of Commerce,” answered the Senior. “Don’t tell me you don’t know what that organization does.” ““Oh-o-0-o—I remember now—somewhat. Didn’t we elect some mem- bers of our class to represent us in that Ch-Chamber,—and—a—Didn’t we have to bring five cents to help it fi-nancial-ly.” “Yes, yes, you have it, that club is the faithful one that meets every Monday night and does all the work it can. , “Haven’t you bought Thrift Stamps this past year?

S. students. “Yes, I understand now the kind of work done, I guess,” said the Freshman as he walked away, “I’m glad I don’t belong to that—no parties, or funny programs there.” The Senior turned to her friend who had been listening. “Yes, he is correct. The Class of 1918 wished that their good work might be carried on and so it has.” President - - - - - -.

Military Company By PAUL NYHAGEN °19 The M. H. S. Military Company was organized at the beginning of the school year under direction of Lieutenant Nemitz. One hundred and fifteen boys were enrolled, more than twice as many as last year. Although the war came to a close in the early part of the year, the drill remained as popular as ever. The Company drilled outdoors until it became too cold, when drill was conducted in the armory. Throughout the winter the boys were drilled in squad movement, platoon movements and setting-up exercises. When the weather was warm enough, drill was conducted on the west ground of the school. The Company was much handicapped, because of the small drill ground, but made rapid progress. Setting-up exercises were held each morning in addition to the regu- lar drill, and the boys got a taste of real military life when they must be up and ready for drill at eight each morning.

HISTORY CLUB FLAMBEAU History Club The Histoiy Club had its foundations laid quite a number of years ago. Every year a few boarcs were added and during this year the struc- ture has neared its completion. Work was started on the structure this year by our active Seniors, uncer tne direction of Miss Wangard. As in all carpentering, our club had to have its material before the building could be continued. In this instance our officers were considered the choice material and they in turn picked out what they thought would make good additions for special places. Our choice for the year were the following: FIRST SEMESTER. SECOND SEMESTER.

Many interesting, comical and musical programs have been given combined with a talk or so from an outsider. We Seniors expect those who join the History Club next year to carry on our good work and add boards to the structure, perhaps even get to the shingling. RutTH THOMPSON, Secretary. LATIN CLUB (S. P.Q. R.) THE FLUAMBEAU S. P. Q. R. By AURELIA GRETHER ’22 S. P. Q. R., or The Latin Club, organized this year at the request of the students, consists of fifty members, all girls, Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. The members belong to one of three groups, according to their scholastic standing, Senatores, Equites and Plebes. Consuls are chosen — from the first rank, Aediles from the second, Tribunes from the third, and Praetor and Censor-from any rank. There are also the socii or associate members who have no vote and are not now taking work in the Latin department. Officers are elected every semester.

P. Q. R. for the benefit of the whole school. S. P. Q. R. has certainly had a successful year and we hope it has come to stay. RADIO-ELECTRO CLUB es Radio-Electro Club - y HOWARD DUMMER, ’21 The Radio-Electro Club was reorganized at the beginning of the first semester. The organization started out with fifteen members this year, but it has been growing steadily. At one time it had forty-five members listed'in the roll book. The largest enrollment last year was thirty. As the name suggests, the object of the club is to study wireless telegraphy and electricity. The members gained much knowledge of the elements of electricity, but they did not take up the subject of wireless telegraphy this year as the government prohibited the use of wireless during the war. Owing to the fact that the school was closed for about a month on account of the “Flu”, the club did not get as far as it expected to get in the study of electricity. The club met once a week and each time it carried out a program which consisted of several talks and discussions on electrical topics. The club has had quite a successful year.

We played games, danced and served refreshments. All reported a very enjoyable time. The membrs oef the Club are now planning to take a hike to Two Rivers. They have also decided to give an entertainment near the close of school. The intention of the members is to carry on the Club throughout their entire High School life. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TRAILERS The Trailers By DOROTHY SCHROEDER ’22 The Trailers, a club of the Junior High School, is under the direction of Miss Markham and consists of about twenty-five members. ‘the club was organized two years ago by teachers of the Junior High School with the object of increasing outdoor activity. In winter, coasting and skating are the main sports; while in sum- mer hikes and out of door parties are enjoyed by all. Since last September, two hikes have been taken. One was to Two Rivers and the other to Ravine Park. The hike to Two Rivers was made on skates, which might not be called a hike. Parties were held at the Madi- son School where games, dancing and light refreshments were enjoyed by all. Officers are elected every six weeks giving each member the experi ence of presiding at meetings, THE PATHFINDERS The Pathfinders By RUTH KRAUSE ’22 The Pathfinders is one of the High School’s new clubs.

H. 8. 2nd Team, 14. T. W. H. S. 2nd Team, 10. Cn April 4, our two teams journeyed to Two Rivers to play return games. There were two packed cars full of rooters, who eccompanied the teams. Our band, of which we are so proud, also went with us. After some exciting playing our boys won by a score of 14 to 10. M. H. S. 1st Team. T. R. H. 8. 1st Team. When the second game was called, the first M. H. 8. team determ‘ned to do as well as the other. Both teams displayed remarkable speed, and each kept the other from winning many baskets. But luck was against us, and the game ended 22 to 13, with Two Rivers victorious. We won a game and lost one. The band crashed up a lively tune, and all were happy. We wish to thank the students and teachers of Two Rivers High School for the program after the games, and also for the games. We shall be glad to play you again next year. Two Rivers Games After the games between the classes were completed, an all star team was picked to play against the strong, fast going Two Rivers team. A second team was also picked so that a double-header could be played, and the date for the games was set to be March 14. At last the long looked for night arrived. All footsteps were turned toward the Orpheum to witness the games. The first game between the second teams was called at 8:20 o’clock. In the last half the teams played close ball, and, had it not been for THE FLAMBEAU a lucky basket made by T. R. H. S. on a tap-in, off jump, after a tie, from the side of the ball, M. H. S.would surely have won, because the waistle calling time was blown two seconds after the basket was made. M. H. S. 1st Team, 12. T. R. H. S. 1st Team, 14. The second game was even more exciting than the first. Manitowoc surely expected a victory, but in the last half the ball would roll around the basket, but would not go through. Although we were defeated 12 to 14, much credit must be given the boys for putting up a game without prac- tice; the Two Rivers team has played together all season. The friendly spirit shown after the double defeat is the thing that was worth most. The M. H. S. team and rooters were good losers. We must not forget to thank and give our coach, Mr. Head, the credit he deserves for working with the boys, and giving all the aid he could. If we had a gymasium, with Mr. Head’s aid we should have one of the strong- est teams in the state. Basketball In M. H. S. To the west of Washington Park a large house is constructed of white brick, known to the younger generation of the city, as the central higa school. In this large house four boys live with their father. The names of these four boys are Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman. Mr. Stangel wanted to see his boys grow up strong, healthy, and athletic. In order to help do this, he engaged them in a game called bas- ketball. A series of games was played between the boys with the follow- ing results: January 17: Sophomore 26 vs. Freshman 16 Senior 24 vs. Junior 23 January 31: Junior 24 vs. Freshman 18 Senior 16 vs. Sophomore 14 Freshman 23 vs. Senior 13 Junior 8 vs. Sophomore 4 This ended the games of these brothers, but they were also engaged in several games with their cousins in Two Rivers. Basketball has been great fun for everybody. Three cheers for our teams! THE FLAMBEAU Junior Basketball Team By RICHARD MARQUARDT ’20 “Junior Basketball meeting at 4 P. M.” This announcement greeted the Junior boys in the early part of December. About fifteen boys responded and elected Milton Stangel cap- tain and James Touhey manager. The first practice was held soon after, and about the same number of boys responded. Mr. Head coached the players and his work is appreciated by all the boys. The fifteen boys out for practice were soon sifted down to seven and these seven represented the class in almost every game. In one game against the Seniors, the re- sult of good work was shown, for though they did not win, they managed to play the Seniors to a tie. In the next game against the Freshmen, the Juniors emerged victorious. The next game, between the Sophomores and Juniors, was probably the best inter-class game played. There was excel- lent team work on both sides, and the Juniors also won this game. The Juniors did not lose a game, while the Seniors did, so the Juniors ougnt really to be classed champions. They are ready to play the Seniors at any time. ; The team this year was one of the best in years, and next year our class will probably be represented by the same boys. There are three Juniors on the first High School team and four on the second team. The Junior line up was as follows: FORWARDS CENTER GUARDS Leo Bazal Milton Stangel Paul Urbanek Edward Hansen Richard Marquardt James Touhey Harold Kallies Juniors, total points, 57. Opponents, total points, 44. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BASKET BALL TEAM By LEWIS DUMDEY The Junior High School had a light and fast team on the floor for the 1919 season. The team received first class coaching from Coach N. J. Schubert. Although the team started the season by being beaten by the Sophomores it ended by beating the Seniors. The team played nine games all told. All players in V-shaped necks are in the first line up. The players are, left to right: Standing, Lewis Dumdey, George Pech, Art Sampe, William Kuehle and Raymond Jaeger. Lower row, Sam Randolph, Ray- mond Bleser, Coach N. J.

He held her arm so slender. No, not every young man could. Oh, How They Loved Each Other! He helped her through the thickets, Through the ferns and undergrowth. Until they reached a clearing Which was pleasing to them both. But Then, They Loved Each Other! The place was one of beauty, And no one else was there. She made him do his duty. He combed his tousled hair!!! You See, She, Was His Mother!!! L. E. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT When Mr. Rudolf heard we were all going to leave him, never to come back, he wept hot tears of anguish. Bill Brown has been in school for eighteen consecutive days. The lest four years have been the happiest of our lives. Harry Williams got 92 in an English test! Farley wasn’t heard from for fifteen minutes during Physics class. The Freshman English Classes were let out nearly on time one day. Gordon H. Volunteered in Physics. I went through High School without ever having a private interview, a duet, in the office. Mr. Luehr has the most enjoyable Physics class that he has ever had. This High School will never recover from the loss of the 1919 Senior Class. Question: What would you say if I should tell you my true age?— M. B. R. ; Answer: You look it!

Teacher: ‘Give me a sentence using adaptability.” Student: “The adaptability of the machine was a great invention to the man.” DICK KNOWS G. W. is drawing a figure on the board in Solid Geometery. R.S. (in a stage whisper) : “That’s not a figure, that’s a shape.” THE SONG OF SEVENTEEN Should you ask me why I love her, Why I rave about her beauty, Why I will not live without her, Why I think she is the sweetest Of the many girls I’ve met here In this world of pretty women, I should answer all your questions. I should tell you why I rave thus. I should tell you why I love her. Why I chose this pretty freshman THE FULAMBEAU From the scores of handsome women With whom I have made acquaintance At the numerous balls or dances. Girls, much noted for their beauty, For their shapeliness of figure, For their cleverness in speaking, And their taking ways in general. No, I did not choose my sweetheart After due deliberating. After cold and thoughtful judgment; It was over in a moment. One sweet look was all I needed, For I knew her inthat instant To be her, for whom I’d waited; The one thing that I had longed for. Now I knew my heart was captured, That my soul was hers forever In this life and the here-after ; It was hers if she would have it. If she could not love as I did, I should always be a batchelor, Be a lonely heart-sick outcast. I could never love another ; Never see another woman Without judging her beforehand, Before knowing what her name was, How her voice and laughter sounded. After speaking with an angel, Could one look at common women? Could one care for any mortal? Now I’ve told you my position, All my inmost hopes and yearnings, All my trials and tribulations; So begone, with all your questions; Go, and leave me to my dreaming Of my past and of our future. L.

Mr. L. had carefully explained the wonderful accomplishments of ¢ great scientist by the name of Count Rumford. When he finished, he asked’ whether there were any questions S. F.: “T haven’t any questions, but I wondered whether he was re- lated to the Rumford in ‘Rumford’s Baking Powder.’ ” BUT IT DIDN’T WORK Mr. L. called on a student, who had not paid very close attention the day before, to explain a problem in the revie w lesson. H. W. (hesitating, for very obvious reasons): ‘We explained that yesterday.” Problem: Explain why a quantity of alcohol that measures twenty gallons on the first of January might measure as much as twenty-one gal- lons on the first of July. Bright Student: “I shouldn’t think there would be as much; I thought it would be sold.” A SAMPLE OF JUNIOR MENTALITY Junior: ‘She having spoke was silent.” This is the note that “Babe” sent.

THE FLAMBEAU ADVICE TO BEGINNERS Take it at your own risk Have as good a time as possible—without flunking. Do not work for knowledge as much as for standings. Work the teachers, or they will work you. Don’t be bashful. You m‘ss practically all the joy of your first year. First get an idea. It’s a good thing to have about you. Study Little, think less, talk loudly. Remember after skipping, illness is an acceptable excuse. Swipe everything you can get hold of. It won’t hurt the other f¢l- low to go without any more than it will you. But don’t get caught; it might be embarrassing. AN EXPLANATION V. W.: “Why didn’t the hydroplane come?” Mr. Bleyer: “Because Avi ate’er.” TOPICS IN BRIEF Miss Wangard says: “School life is too easy. There is not enough seriousness in school.” We think that she would change her opinion some- what if she were given ten nights in the tardy room. English as taught in school is haré er than that learned in tne Arcade, isn’t it, Zahorik? Now that autocracies are being done away with, we students see a ray of hope. Maybe the reason “Shrimp” coesn’t grow any bigger is that all the growing energy escaped in the form of hot air. We learn in Physics that objects on a high plane are unstable and liable to fall. Look out, Seniors! They call Geometry “Plane” but it’s complex to most of us. Gerhardt W. has a lean and hungry look, but we don’t know whether he’s dangerous or not. Wouldn’t it he fine if we could see Mr. Stangel before he saw us? Yes, George, you’re brainy; we’ll take your word for it. i After seeing Mary B. R.’s report card with its ninety-five in Physics, we wonder, “How do they do it?” Does it hurt to be in love, “Bobby?” Never mind, Harry, we’ll send you an invitation to the graduation exercises. If war is what Sherman said it was, what is school? Did Mr. Bleyer install our drinking fountain? We hear the Mormons were intensely industrious. We don’t blame them, with more than one wife. THE FLAMBEAU Yes, Latin is a good mind drill, but it drills too deeply. If everything Joe S. says is true, he uncoubtedly is a great man. The government let oppoitunity pass when it did not appo'‘nt Farley as supervisor of the Questionnaire Department. . We wish to apologize for a mistake made by the Editor. Herbert Kukeral’s picture should have been in this department. Our teachers say: ‘Go to school to the end.” Yes, the bitter end. A MINUS QUANTITY Teacher (to student who has just made a bluff): “Do you know what your work is worth?” Student: ‘“No’m.” Teacher: “It’s worth a zero with the rim knocked off.” YES, SURE Miss L.: “Girls, before you leave, pusa your chairs in the table.” HEARD IN HISTORY G. V.: ‘Well, that’s all I know.” Miss W.: “Well, then you don’t know much.” Miss W.:. “What was the chief aim of the Germans?” Student: “To get Paris.” YOU DON’T SAY SO? Student (explaining experiment in Physics: ‘He put some wet water on the thermometer bulb.” . TROUBLE ENOUGH Teacher (to student in the pall) e “What’s the matter with you?” Student: ‘I have a cold sore.’ We don’t like to brag, and we don’t like to boast, but we do eat Freshmen with our morning toast. THIS IS SERIOUS! “I’m afraid Mr. Bleyer won’t be able to do that work immediately because he has been, and is very busy in the kitchen.” WE HEARD THEM A. P.: “Didn’t you get nervous during the speed test?” M. M.: “Well, I surely did! I just about could write; my hands shook and my feet rattled.” : POLITENESS Senior: “Are you chewing gum?” Freshie: ‘No.” Senior: ‘What then?” Freshie: “Candy.” Senior: ‘Don’t you know it’s not polite to eat candy unless you give me some?” THE FULAMBEAU_ THE GREAT ORDEAL By LOUISE GAUGER ’19 Now turn your head and look this way, That’s what you hear on picture-day, Look pleasant, just one little smile! To keep my mouth shut is a trial. How long must I sit and pose? If only I covld scratch my nose! At last what joyous words are these, “Will you tell the next ene, please?” UNIFORMS By ELIZABETH SMITH ‘19 Yes, we have at last decided, We Senior girls so fair, What dresses at our graduation We most prefer to wear. ’Twas a long and hardfought battle With many dreadful storms; For some a fancy dress would have And some wished uniforms. The supporters of the uniforms The first big fight did win. But the others not desiring it, To fret they did begin. So on the following Monday, In answer to their cry, Unto room three from all around Each one of us did hie. There we argued and we argued, And raised a fearful din, ’Till those who favored uniforms Their cause again did win. But alas! there was more trouble For after votings two, Although we should have had more sense We chose the color blue. The other classes laughed at us, And what was even more The teachers said they n’er had heard Of such a thing before. Again we all assembled Three teachers present were; And to judge from former meetings, Were needed much I’m sure. Two committees were appointed Some ways and means to get, And we on Friday after school Again together met. After a short discussion, We voted then and there, Just what on that day wonderful We should like best to wear. So on June sixth at eight o’clock, If there you chance to be, You'll learn what our decision was, The Senior girls you’ll see. SEPTEMBER We are all glad to get back!!

You can learn more in a yearin a good school than you can learn in a business office in five years, because the school deals in those fundamental principles that are applicable to all lines of business. “Tf you can write shorthand and keep books, I shall be glad to give you a po- sition at a good salary today, but no business man can take the time to teach you the things you should learn in school.” This is the answer a prominent business man recently gave to an applicant for a position who said, “I have no special training but Iam ready to begin at the bottom and work up.” The shortest road to business success starts at the door of the thoroughly efficient private business training school. People of ability, without training, are handi- capped. It’s in training these young people that we specialize. Manitowoc Business College A Bully Accredited School % TD. Wood, Prop.

It is so different from the ordin- ary makes of phonographs that you must see and hear it in order to get the secret of its merits. Instead of using metal needles as are used in the oldstyle of machines the Pathephone is equip- ped witha Sapphire ball which is permanent thus eliminating the bothersome trouble of changing needles which formerly was the custom. It has a sweet mellow tone, distinct in reproduction and every requirement to make music what it should be. It is the only standard machine that will play any make of phonographic record. On giving usa call you will readily be convinced that anytning else must be cumbersome and out of date.
